Empty the Bench

This might be the strongest year ever for tight ends in fantasy football with at least 10 players we consider pretty damn sexy. We don’t expect annual injury risks like Kellen Winslow (12 catches, 120 yards, 2 TDs), Jeremy Shockey (8 catches, 80 yards, 2 TDs), and Todd Heap (6 catches, 83 yards, 2 TDs) to keep their respective early-season paces up, but the production across the board for projected fantasy contributors at the position has been impressive.

Finally, the Antonio Gates, Jason Witten, and Tony Gonzalezes of the fantasy world aren’t locks to hold down the top three spots in the weekly ranks, as you’ll see below. (Maybe #3 is high for Daniels, but he’s quietly racking up impressive numbers [10 catches, 116 yards, 1 TD], and we think he’ll find the endzone at home this week against the sinking ship that is the Jacksonville Jaguars.)
